CALIBRATE THE DEVICE
You will need to calibrate the ZEN53 DC Motor Controller to operate your
shades or blinds correctly using Z-Wave control. The default duration for an
operating cycle for this device is 60 seconds (for a full up-down cycle). You
can calibrate the ZEN53 automatically or manually to set the right duration
for up / down or open / close cycles.
NOTE: If you are installing a brand new motor for your shades, please set
it up according to the instructions first.
AUTOMATIC CALIBRATION
Use this method for motors with limit switches.
- Click the Z-Wave button 6 times quickly to enter calibration mode (or set parameter 5 to value 1 for shutter mode or value 2 for Venetian mode, add to hub first).
- The device will start calibrating while blinking green. The process takes around 10 seconds.
- The motor will start opening the blinds until it reaches the limit and the blind is fully open. It will then reverse operation and start closing the blind until it reaches the closed limit.
- The calibration process is now complete. The device has calculated the total time it needs to fully open or close your blinds or shutters. It will use this data to execute open and close commands. If you need to make any adjustments manually, you can enter the new values in parameters 3 and 4 in the advanced settings.
